To My Muse
Words of poetry do not belong to people
Or names
They are the sanctuary of the soul
At the physical plane
You take away my sleep
I neglect to cover my naked shoulders
Your voice pulls me closer
In tete-a-tete heartbeat
My plea escapes from your heart
Or maybe
Your heart escapes from me with its plea
Scatter through many dimensions
Swell my recalls with the scent of yellow roses
Cure my hands from the stings of dark thorns
Clean my wounds
Reduce my pain with more pain
To the threshold of numbness
Or maybe
I lie to myself that this numbness exists
Meaningless words
Translated through senses
Detach from me and floats away
Your voice ties my fragmented expressions in lament
My breath has no sound
Or maybe
My heart is out of breath when you speak
